Korea Queer Film Festival
Monday, 01 June 2026 until Tuesday, 30 June 2026
Korea Queer Film Festival(KQFF) is an LGBTQIA+ film festival held in South Korea. With our slogan, “Open the Queer Window”, our festival is an opportunity to examine every aspect of living as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. We aim to foster LGBTQIA+ culture and promote LGBTQIA+ rights while enhancing the diversity of Korean cinema.
Our programs feature a wide range of domestic and international features and shorts, complemented by supplementary programs such as Guest Visits(GV) and Queer Movie Talk(Q-Talk), a series of discussion sessions on various themes.
KQFF is hosted by the Seoul Queer Culture Festival(SQCF) Organizing Committee, which consists of volunteers, and is organized by the Korea Queer Film Festival Executive Committee, our internal organization.
We are now receiving entries for international submissions for the 2026 26th Korea Queer Film Festival. We look forward to the submission of many works that capture the lives and perspectives of the LGBTQIA+ community. We hope KQFF2026 will be another event full of new insights.
1. KQFF Choice: Our ‘LGBTQ+ Film of the Year’ as selected by the KQFF Executive Committee. The winner will also receive a prize, and the film will be prioritized for recommendations to other Korean or international film festivals.
2. Honorary Mention from the Executive Committee: Given to the ‘Noteworthy LGBTQ+ Film’ as selected by the KQFF Executive Committee. The winner will also receive a prize.
